It's years since I last went to Yarmouth, but I remember it was lovely, bit touristy but there were quieter parts. Norfolk has a few hidden gems worth visiting. Enjoy your holiday with frog and dog!

I'm afraid my memories of card games are somewhere in the dark, distant past and mainly childrens games like Snap. Not very exciting but you dud get to smack your hand down and yell Snap.

There was Strip Jack Naked which I rhink was an adults game involving Kings , Queens and Jacks but I've forgotten how to play that.

We were more in to board games so might be worth a look around the Charity shops for a few. Some we played used to go on for ever so a good way of passing the time.

Try Mr Google for the card games instructions.

I'm glad you're both still having an adventure not forgetting the dog,

When you posted about visiting the Loch and failing to find Nessie I meant to ask if you'd ever visited the Falls of Falloch. One of my favourite places in Stirling. Lovely memories of eating a meal or having ice cream outside the cafe and watching tha water tumbling down from a very great height. Food for the soul and on my list of places to go back to along with Cumbria and the Lakes.

Ooh I'm not much of a poster anywhere but just wanted to come out of lurkdom to say Congratulations Burtha or should I say Mrs Frog      I'm so pleased for you, ,and glad that as part of your  celebrations you came down to my neck of the woods ( Norfolk!)

And as I had a little catchup read while I was here, thank you so much Poly for the link to the Australian Blog, it was a really nice inspiration I'm going to start following it.
